Polk Bringing Listen Up Tour to CES

Polk said this week that it will kick off its “Listen Up” tour at International CES next month, bringing live music to its booth at the show.

The company’s booth in the South Hall will include a soundproof booth, featuring five independent musical acts from Polk’s hometown of Baltimore. These include June Star, Ellen Cherry, Bosley Brown and Mike Ruocco, as well as St. Louis group The Incurables. The booth will also include Polk’s latest UltraFocus ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) on-ear and in-ear headphones.

“We’re a homegrown Baltimore-based audio company, and even though we sell worldwide, we haven’t lost our independent roots,” Ben Newhall, Polk Audio’s Senior Vice President of Sales, said in a statement. “As we celebrate over 40 years of audio innovation, we want to pay tribute to the independent spirit and love of music that continue to define every product we make.
